I just tested on my laptop and got the "unidentified developer" error dialog. Something's up. I googled and found http://furbo.org/2015/07/23/code-signing-in-el-capitan/ and following the investigation outlined there found a dangling symlink in the bundle.

Which is interesting. Codesign on El Cap happily signed the bundle without complaint but El Cap considers the signature invalid. 

So I'll see what I can do to fix the bogus link and anything else that the security checker whines about and add another QA step to my release process.
